Chapter Forty-Five (Doctor`s Point of View) (Yes, The Real Doctor)

Five people lay on the floor. Three men dressed from head to toe in black suits and a black helmet was placed to "embellish" their outfits when it only made them stand out more. Then, of course, the Mayor, who was dead on the ground behind her desk. It looked like she fell out of her chair. And then Ditzy, my poor Ditzy... she looked like she was in a black and white movie.

"Bout time you showed up," a man laughed darkly. He used the back of his arm to wipe his mouth. And he was my clone.

"Return her to normal, right now!" I barked.

"Why should I?"

"Because I know we both want to."

His face flushed but quickly regained color. His mouth opened and –

"-Sorry, but I`m not on the market currently, or any time ever," I said. "Might be tough trying to get mine anyways, don`t ya think? Cause I got 10 others."

He smiled wickedly, shutting his mouth. "How about we fight, then?"

"Fight...?" I asked. He nodded. "Well, see, that`d be hard too. We both have equal strengths, and we are fighting for the same cause."

"What cause would that be?" he asked, his eyes scanning over me.

"We both want her back, and we both know how to save her."

I heard Dinky start to step closer so I shut the door in a flash.

"What`re you talking about, Doc?" the Doctor asked. "I don`t want her back, but you do."

"No, we both do. Because do you know how a clone works for your species? You don`t only take the form, but you take the memories. So tell me, Doctor, what are your thoughts towards Ditzy?" I smiled wickedly. I glared at him and he was stopped in his tracks. "See, I`m right! Just like always."

"No, no, no, no, no! I will not fall to your depths!" he yelled, stepping closer. "Let`s settle this like men!"

"See, that reminds me of something I`ve heard. Oh, and you`ve heard it too. What does that mean, anyway? 'Settle this like men'? It only counts as 'fighting like a man' if you are fighting for something. And you just said it – 'I don`t want her back', straight from your mouth."

"It doesn`t matter anymore," he growled. "Fighting is my strong point, not yours."

"Nah, then I think I`m good on that fight," I laughed, sitting down. "But if you want a fight you could probably try going outside of this room. Someone sees two of us, it might cause some... suspicion, don`t you think?" I asked.

"What are you thinking of doing then, because I`m a threat to you, and right now, I`m pretty thirsty. Maybe it`s time to feast again, but how about on your daughter?"

I stood up. "How about on me," I suggested.

Two pairs of feet ran towards us from outside and I felt Dinky`s protests from outside of the door.

"Very well then," he snarled. He opened his mouth, his teeth already there. I didn`t give any resistance.

Three shots were fired and he fell to the ground.

"See, this is why I usually don`t trust you," Dinky frowned at me. But then she began running to her mother.

"What happened?" I asked, peeking outside. And there she stood, gun in hand. "Melinda Ross, our savior," I laughed.

"No problem," she shrugged. "But what about Ditzy...?"

I felt my hearts jump into my throat and I looked back over to her. I had completely forgotten about her.

"I have an idea," Dinky said, staggering towards the other "me".

"What`re you doing," I asked.

She kicked him in the side and, as she probably predicted, golden streams of light flew out, circled the room, and evaporated. Melinda then shot through the glass and hit the ground. More golden flecks sparkled out from there, too.

Ditzy began coughing hysterically in less than a second. Her body rapidly gained its` color back.

I ran over to her and helped her sit up. She smiled weakly at me and Dinky wrapped her arms around her so quickly they almost fell to the ground.

Dinky sobbed against her shoulder and I walked over to Melinda.

"If you run, you might be able to make it out," she informed me.

"But what about the others," I asked.

"That`s the point. Now we all know what has been happening here. Plus, it`ll give us some time to find out even more without you finding it out for us," she laughed.

I simply smiled and shook my head. "I can drop you off somewhere you`ll be safe, if you`d like."

"Nah, what`s the fun in that?"
